So sc can you think of a reason why the judge is not ordering it? I feel like he is protecting them instead of protecting the system. It feels like having blinders on... Is this what it feels like to have a case kept out of the media? I don't like it hahaha... I want access!

First, I was shocked to see such a move but without knowing the particulars of how it was argued in the courtroom; I am at a loss. However, I would like to believe the assumption that the Judge may have an inclination that this is going to a "adult level", so it may be standard practice to have the motion granted there.

In 2007 the associated press reported this opinion based on New Jersey DNA testing. Which I am going to have to dig further, but I am curious if this is testing for the guilty, accused, or both. Or did this all change?

N.J. justices uphold state's DNA testing for felons

The New Jersey law that mandates DNA testing for felons is constitutional and can be used to solve crimes
committed before the sample was taken, the state Supreme Court ruled yesterday. A pair of 6-0 decisions, in
two similar cases, upheld the New Jersey DNA Database and Databank Act of 1994, which lower courts had
affirmed. Similar laws are in place federally and in all other states.
The American Civil Liberties Union decried the rulings. It had lawyers representing Jamaal W. Allah, who pleaded
guilty to drug charges in 2001, and a juvenile who pleaded guilty to the adult equivalent of aggravated assault in
2002.
"By ruling that we have no greater privacy interest in our DNA than we do in our fingerprints, the court has set
the legal framework that could allow the government to require and obtain all New Jerseyans' DNA samples upon
birth," said Deborah Jacobs, executive director for the ACLU of New Jersey.
The law, in addition to establishing a state database, requires that DNA information be forwarded to the FBI for
its database, which is available nationally to law enforcement. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court was
considered unlikely because the law has been upheld around the nation.

As of September 18, 2012 this map was published based on states with DNA testing of Felons. I can only assume that juvenile offenders fall under a different pretense.
